tv   MSNBC Live With Jose Diaz- Balart  MSNBC  November 2, 2015 6:00am-8:01am PST

6:00 am
. good morning. i'm jose diaz-balart. we begin with the mysterious crash of a russian jetliner. now some airlines are refusing to fly over the region until they learn exactly what happened. just hours ago the first bodies from the crime go back to russia. let's go to chief investigator bill neely. what are investigators saying today? >> reporter: good morning. they are today working on the
6:01 am
plan's two black or le hael havt where the plan pran rn the kremlin says terrorism cannot be ruled out. the airline said today that mechanical impact was the cause. but what does that really mean? plain fact of the matter is we don't know. it remains a mystery, a mystery above all for the families who have received some of the bod s
6:02 am
bodies. >> coming home on a plane to their home city, 144 bodies on vacation from egypt. the plane broke up in mid air, the tail found three miles from the cockpit. they're searching for clues and ruling out nothing. >> one of the things that you can't rule out at this time is whether or not there was an explosive device of some sort on the aircraft. >> a group affiliated with isis said they downed the claim but their claim has been dismissed by russian and egyptian officials. the airline says no technical fault could have caused the crash, only a mechanical impact on the plane could have caused the breakup, but the jet had an accident once before, its tail damaged landing in cairo 14 years ago. it passed inspection six months ago in ireland. the airline said the incident
6:03 am
didn't affect the plane's safety. in st. petersburg, a second day of mourning. they know that their country is bombing syria and they've been the victims of terrorism before. so for now all eyes are on the black box flight recorders recovered at the scene. they're still being examined in cairo and the voices and information on those most likely will unlock this mystery. >> what is the latest you're hearing about this crash? >> we had some kind of conflicting translations of what the russians are saying this morning. i think that there are at this point several lead possibilities here. with one of them there was some sort of explosive device on that plane. they don't believe anybody operating in the sinai has that
6:04 am
kind of a radar controlled missile that could bring down a plane. could it be a bomb on board? yes, it could. what else could have brought down the plane? it could have been a catastrophic failure of the fuselage, causing the plane to come apart. the tail of this plan was worked on 14 years ago after it was involved in some sort of a ground strike in cairo. you may say, wait a minute, 14 years have passed and the plane has apparently performed well over 14 years, why if it was that cause, something involving the tail, why would it come across? we've seen before when there was a poor repair job and we've seen fatigue and it coming apart at altitude. they're going to look at the repair and maintenance rorlds on board that play. this is the a321, the stretch
6:05 am
model of a very reliable model of planes. the a-320 is flown around the world, it's a work horse of a plane. 0.14 fatal loss. it's very, very low. it's registered in ireland. it's the irish who are ensuring that the documentation is done correctly and that the plane is maintained well. it is usually in the interest of whoever is holding that lease, it is in their interest toin sure the people because whoever owns that plane is going to want to sell that plane down the road. so it's in the irish interest to
6:06 am
keep that plane into peak capacity. i don't think you can. >> and so the responsibility for maintenance is metro jet or this irish company? >> it's metro jet but generally the irish company who holds the plane would enforce very demanding maintenance standards on metro jet. they'd say if you're going to lease that plane from us, you've to the to do a, b, c, d in coordination with their standards. >> teams from all but one camp isn't negotiators to suburban d.c. to hammer out their demands for future debates. it was moderated by attorney ben
6:07 am
ginsburg. the rnc who negotiated the gatherings with the networks was left out of the meeting. now control of the debates going forward has been put in the hands of the campaigns, it and away from the national party. >> the rnc is still going to be a partner with all the campaigns. rnc will have a role but the campaigns will be doing the format negotiations. chris jansing is at the white house. >> reporter: candidates revolt. they were very unhappy. three strikes you're out. this is a huge change. the rnc had taken over these debates as a way to get these off the plates of the candidates. there was a lot time let me show you some of the things that at least last night were agreed on
6:08 am
for example, jeb bush's campaign was unhappy at one point that it didn't read he was the former governor of florida, which is a key part for his speaking campaign. every campaign i talked to said the stakes for these are so high because there's so many candidates, they're going to have so little time. but just to tell you sort of what is behind some of the frustration, jose, one of them told me one time on a conference call at the rnc, they were concerned about how they were going to get the equal number of questions and equal times. a spokesman said how they were going to use al gore rhythms. he said what's wrong with a stop watch? what do you need al gore rhythms for? you can see the dk we're going
6:09 am
to have this letter that will be disseminated today, they'll have four days to review it and then it will go to the network as thee debates come up to try to resolve some of these issues, jose. >> these new rules, regulations, i don't know what to call them. are these going to be inkrcred first of all, i think that they would say that they're not suggestings this although looking at it at a backup. that's when the rn but look, the details are really broad. i mean, this draft all right that nbc has gotten a look at is
6:10 am
everything what the temperature of the room should be to the fact where they bnt want to ask questions that will show. . this is going to be part of an ongoing through this develops looj the way. some of these candidates may theyen at one point or another to pull out of the debates. we'll see if that happens. >> chris jansing, thank you very much. >> reporter: sure. >> jeb bush is speaking in tampa next hour for the start of his new identify jeb can fix it" tour. it comes after poor deperformances and new news of budget cuts.
6:11 am
on "meet the press", the candidate is acknowledging some rough times. >> i have enough self-awareness to know this is bumpy this is given to me by the mom of a man reason given to me by a mom there as beg things that presidents have to do. so this is the pross and i'm more prepared to find on. >> jose, good morning. jeb bush is prepared to give what his aides are billing as a pretty significant speech here in tampa, florida, as he does try to push the reset buttonon a
6:12 am
a. now, chuck todd also asked jeb bush over the weekend that the fact in a himself name hat has fallen so low is part of. a member of the bush familiar lip can't believe they're losing. >> i don't even think about that. i love my dad. i'd kill for him. i'd go to prison for him because i love him that much. thankfully i haven't had the need too do that. >> so bush here is going to deliver now, we also have h some excerpts from this beach and he does take something of a swipe at marco rubio when he says "the risks are too great to roll the

of any terrorist involvement yet. >> does isis have the ability to shoot down an airliner? >> it's unlikely but i wouldn't rule it out. >> nbc news chief global correspondent bill neely is live in cairo this morning. bill, what's the very latest? >> reporter: good morning, jose. so james clapper not ruling out terrorism and the kremlin not ruling out terrorism either. at minute in cairo today, investigators from rgs rgs and egypt have been working on the two black box flight recorders which were recovered in good condition from the debris. at the minute we understand they are done loading the data from those black boxes but they haven't begun analyzing them yet so there are a lot of unanswered questions. crucially we have a few facts. we know there was no distress call from the pilot or the co-pilot and we know the plane broke up in mid-air. but exactly why is a mystery.
7:02 am
the metro jet, the airline that operates the plane, it said a mechanical impact was the cause. i want to read you exactly what they said because it's important. metro jet said, the only feasible reason for the plane's break-up in the air was some sort of impact, a mechanical, physical impact on the aircraft. now russian officials have just slapped down that claim saying metro jet's claim is premature and it is not grounded in real facts. obviously what the airline is trying to do here is distance itself from any responsibility from this. it's saying there was no technical problem and no pilot error. but the russian officials and egyptian officials are saying it is far, far too early to make any of those conclusions. one important thing they're now looking at was that this plane 14 years ago was involved in a fairly serious incident. it was coming into land here at cairo. the nose was up, the tail was down, and the tail hit the
7:03 am
runway causing substantial damage. it was repaired, but many analysts are saying that even after 14 years, it's quite possible that there could be structural damage. there are irish investigators here today because the aircraft was registered in ireland, and they will be giving evidence of the ongoing maintenance records for that plane since that incident 14 years ago. there are also french investigators here because the aircraft was an airbus manufactured in france. but at the minute, no information is coming from that investigation, and egypt's president sisi said yesterday it could be months before the investigation is completed. at the moment we don't expect, jose, any leaks from that investigation on what exactly the information from the black boxes is. back to you. >> bill neely in cairo, thank you very much. i want to bring in msnbc aviation analyst john cox.
7:04 am
metro jet is saying that an external influence must be the cause. what strikes you when you see so far what you've been able to see? >> good morning, jose. i think the metro jet claim is premature. i think that they're saying that they don't have any indication of anything else and then by the process of elimination, it must be. as an accident investigator, those don't follow up at all. what is -- everything's on the table currently. what the investigators are looking at very carefully, very thoroughly, is all the information and evidence that they can gather and then that will lead them to the conclusions. so they're downloading the data. the cockpit voice recorder and digital flight data recorder will tell us the story of this tragedy. but we need a little bit of time for them to get the data downloaded and begin the analysis process. anything said up before that data is read out and analyzed is premature. >> john, very quickly.
7:05 am
clapper was saying that you can't rule out terrorism. how significant is it that 14 years ago it was involved in an incident in cairo where the tail was affected? >> well, i think it could be very significant depending on how the repair was done, what inspections were done after the repair, and so forth. those are things that the investigators are going to look at very closely. the a-321 has an outstanding safety record. what makes this accident airplane unique are things that are going to be the central focus of the investigators to learn what happened. >> john cox, thank you very much for being with me this morning. appreciate your time. >> my pleasure. now to tampa, florida, where in about 20 minutes jeb bush will be launching a new part of his presidential campaign. the one-time front-runner down in the polls, hoping for a come-from-behind surge. it is being dubbed the "jeb can fix it" tour. msnbc host and political correspondent steve kornacki is here with the latest on that. >> good morning to you, jose.
7:06 am
yeah, jeb bush is returning to his roots back to where it all started for him in politics. the state of florida where he was once governor. this can be viewed as sort of pressing the reset button on his candidacy, the poor debate performance, the bad poll numbers, discouraging fund-raising news the other day. he lost a potential top donor to marco rubio. before the speech today that he's about to give he was asked about all these problems yesterday on "meet the press" and the state of his campaign. first listen to what he said about that. >> i have enough self-awareness to know that this is the bumpy time of the campaign. this pales by comparison to being commander in chief. i wear this because i think about what it is to be president. this is given to me by a mom of a marine who was killed in action in afghanistan. there's a lot tougher things that you have to do than debating -- going to nine debates in a republican primary. there's big things that pr presidents have to do. this is the process, i totally
7:07 am
understand it and i'm more than prepared to fight on. >> for more i'm going to bring in msnbc's political reporter kasie hunt following all this down in florida. i'm looking at some of the advance remarks that are leaking out for the speech today. seeing one of the major themes here that jeb bush is going to stress is experience, is his record as florida governor. one of the issues there -- it's been a long time since he was florida governor. the most recent poll down in florida, his home state, has him running in fourth place. he's behind trump, he's behind carson, he's behind rubio, he's in single digits. the florida record from 1998 to 2006, it's been a full decade now. do you think that still matters to people? >> reporter: it's been quite a while, steve. if you look into some of the other polling, a majority of people who live in florida now have never had the chance to vote for jeb bush. they've never seen his name on a ballot. that's because the state is moving so quickly. it is a transient population. lots of people coming in to the state, lots of people moving down obviously, many seniors
7:08 am
coming in. thn isn't necessarily a place that is going to rise up around jeb bush. they know marco rubio a little bit more recently. that said, the establishment in the state has risen up around jeb bush. you're going to see more evidence of that today when marco rubio's former chief of staff and the speaker-elect, speaker designate of the florida house, endorses jeb bush here. kind of a shot the a rubio there. the broader question that you raise is the really critical one. they think if they go back to his florida record, focus on what he did here, ultimately voters are respond to that. excerpts of that speech include kind of a dig at marco rubio saying that this is not the time to take a risk on somebody who just talks about reform instead of somebody who's actually done it. in this election cycle people are responding to that rhetoric, the idea of something new, idea of being angry. whether or not bush is able to successful sell this idea that he can go to washington and iffics it when he seems to be more part of that establishment
7:09 am
i think is the open question. >> that experience versus untested newcomer theme jumped out at me. i also want to play this from that "meet the press" interview yesterday. this was jeb bush talking about the nature of the campaign he wants to run and stressing the theme of optimism. >> we need to be hopeful and optimistic. have an aspirational message. i don't think conservatives are going to win the presidency unless we campaign with our arms wide open. >> that certainly sounds like the kind of message you want to be delivering. what jumped out at me was the other day paul singer, one of the top republican donors in the country, somebody the bush campaign was very eager to get, endorsed marco rubio and specifically one of the things he cited was what he saw as rubio's optimistic vision of the future. i wonder, can jeb bush go toe-to-toe with marco rubio when it comes to that theme. >> reporter: i think the back side of that is this idea that bush is attacking rubio and he's
7:10 am
continued to go after rubio. i was with him in iowa over the weekend and he said that rubio should be showing up to vote in the senate. the quote that you played from "meet the press" speaks to this idea that bush believes deeply that the primary process needs to include more americans than the primary process has in 2012, and specifically latinos, hispanics, that's part of why you are hearing his camp push internally in those debate negotiations to hold a debate on t telemundo. he believes he's somebody that can speak to that community in a way that republicans haven't been able to in a while. for rubio, you listen to him -- one of the things i found interesting about following marco rubio on the trail is that very often he'll give that speech about how his parents came here and his father was a bartender and his mother was a maid, and the american dream is something that's made him who he is. a lot of times you'll see the bartenders in the back of the room in these hotels where these events are held stop and listen. i think that's something bringing rubio forward and helping him and part of the
7:11 am
reason are the bush team views him as such a threat. >> particularly powerful contrast when you talk about running against the son and brother of a former president. those two stories so different. kasie hunt, down there in tampa, a big day for the bush campaign. this is the reset button. we'll see how he pulls it off. i want to turn now to syria and the latest u.s. strategy to deploy about 50 special operations forces to help in the fight against isis. many of the gop presidential candidates call the plan a sign of weakness. this was chris christie earlier today on "morning joe." >> you know 50? why bother? why bother? >> what do you do instead? >> what he should have done is he should have enforced the red line that he drew himself a long time ago in syria. since he didn't do that a quarter of a million of people have been killed and millions are running for their lives to europe and the meeiddle east. the president has shown complete failure. >> the white house insists the
7:12 am
ground troop mission will be strictly to advise and assist. kristin gillibrand, always a pleasure to see you. it is not just republicans who are critical of this. some democrats are also taking issue with putting american troops on the ground. what's your stance? >> i disagreed with president obama's policy with regard to syria. i didn't support arming the rebels. i didn't think that would be an effective strategy. we have consensus now that it was not an effective strategy. and i don't believe we should be putting our men and women on the ground in syria right now. i think it is not the right approach and i think we should perhaps spend more of our resources and focus on the humanitarian crisis and helping some of the refugees that are streaming out syria today. >> separate from the refugee issue, the u.s. is also alleging -- is pledging, i should say, $100 million to support syrian opposition forces. this is not dealing with those hundreds of thousands of people who are either about to leave or leaving that country.
7:13 am
is that also something you think is misspent? >> i don't think arming rebels is the right approach. i think those weapons will too easily fall into the hands of isil and if the president does want to put american troops on the ground, he does need authorization from congress. i do not believe the previous authorizations are sufficient. so he really fleedz lly needs to the senate and the house to get that authorization. >> that authorization for the 50 special operation forces? >> i do. i think that those are combat troops and, yes, they are too advise. but they will be on the ground in syria and i think the appropriate approach is to get authorization. the president sought authorization for his strategy to arm the rebels and i voted against it because i didn't think it was the right approach. i do think he needs to come back to be authorized here as well. >> talk about syria. the problem we're just talking about, fathers, mothers, little
7:14 am
children, grandparents are actually doing everything and anything they can to get out of that country and that a lot of times means certain death. yet they're willing to take that chance. how do you deal with something like this from the american side? >> i think the u.s. and our allies need to commit for help and assistance. i think leaving it just to europe is not sufficient. a lot of countries and cities across europe are now welcoming these families. we need to do the same. we need to work with our allies to do that. we also need to engage the arab world who's done very little. very little resources have come from our arab allies to help the humanitarian crisis and to support syrian refugees in any way. so i think far more needs to be done by the world community and we should be leading the way. >> you say "leading the way." we're looking at these videos, drone footage literally tens of thousands of people marching. and now winter's starting to set in this much of eastern europe. what is it that the united
7:15 am
states should be doing differently? you say leading on this. give me some examples, what do you think we should be doing? >> well, i've talked to mayors from across newark who have said we will welcome families. we have taken refugee families in the past. those refugee families have not only created enormous opportunity in our communities and created a richness and diversity and growth through entrepreneurialism and different cultures. so i think it is important to allow mayors to welcome these families, to work with our governors, to make recommendations to the president and start putting families first and bringing some of these families into our communities and helping them. watching them starve to death and freeze to death on television is not something i think represents american values. i think we want to be doing more and we can be doing more and we should be doing more. >> that is dealing with the crisis as it is in europe, through turkey, through greece, et cetera. but unless you deal with what's happening in syria that's going
7:16 am
to continue. it doesn't matter how many people you accept into this country or anywhere else, people are going to still try to flee. how do you deal with that? >> you need to create a safe environment for them. if there is none in syria, then you need to be able to help them resettle. putting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people in refugee camps with insufficient health care, insufficient water, insufficient food, unsafe environments, is not going to work for very long. we should be resettling as many families as we possibly can in communities that are willing to take them. you've seen great leadership out of europe. germany has taken the lead. i've read about towns that only have 100 residents that are accepting hundreds hf refugee families! it makes a difference. that's who we are as a nation. we are a nation is founded on immigrants, we are a nation that is strong because of our diversity. we should be welcoming these families. i've seen many mayors, particularly across upstate new york who said we are willing and able to take families. send them to us. >> senator gillibrand, thank you for being with me.
7:17 am
appreciate it. lots ahead on this busy monday morning. less than 20 minutes from a campaign reboot for jeb bush hoping to revive his struggling presidential campaign. can jeb fix it? we'll carry his remarks live. later today, president obama reveals a plan to reintegrate former prisoners back into society. it is a major piece of his criminal justice reform plan. i'll have details for you. first here's the winning pitch that sealed the deal. kansas city royals, 2015 world champions, they beat the mets 7-2 in 12 innings last night. royals first world championship since 1985. this is claira. to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for her she's agreed to give it up. that's today? we'll be with her all day to see how it goes. after the deliveries, i was ok. now the ciabatta is done and the pain is starting again. more pills? seriously? seriously.

7:20 am
7:21 am
in just a couple of hours, president obama will be traveling to newark, new jersey as part of a push for reforming the criminal justice system. the president will focus on former inmates trying to find housing and work. let's get more from msnbc chief legal correspondent ari member. good morning. what specifically is the president going to be calling for? >> the big developing news this morning, he is calling for banning the box. that is the idea that basically employers should delay the inquiries into criminal records at least until they meet a candidate. banning the box delays that and the president here using his executive powers is going to do that for all federal employees today. that is new. more broadly he is also going to newark to talk about re-entry programs, including $8 million for housing. that is programs that basically helps people who are coming out of jail try to get on their feet and get into a housing program even if they may have an arrest record. he's also doing technology training, jose. this again is the thing that makes perfect sense if you think
7:22 am
about it. people going to jail. they could be away 10, 15 years, they don't have the tech and computer skills people take for granted. all of this is important because the doj found that in the first year when people actually get out of jail, 60% to 75% of people can't find jobs. we want them to get jobs because we don't want them to go back to a criminal life. here's how the president described this priority as important to employers and the government alike this weekend. >> everyone has a role to play from businesses that are hiring ex-offenders, to philanthropies that support education and training programs. i'm keep working with people in both parties to get criminal justice reform bills to my desk, including a bipartisan bill that would reduce mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenders and reward prisoners with shorter sentences if they complete programs that make them less likely to commit a repeat offense. >> that's a big area of agreement there, jose, the idea that whatever we do while
7:23 am
prisoners are inside, there has to be more on re-entry, on what happens when they go outside so they don't re-offend. chris christie signed ban the box just last year. he's having his own event today to try to get in on the issue. hillary clinton endorsed ban the box just last week and we can tell you we're going to hear a lot more about this tonight. there is a big exclusive nbc news interview with president obama and "nbc nightly news'" lester holt. they'll talk about that and a lot of other things. it will be an exciting one to watch. >> ari, thanks. president is going to be interviewed today by lester holt. of course you can watch that on "nbc nightly news." new developments coming up in the mystery of "el faro." minutes from now the "jeb can fix it" campaign launches in tampa. the gop candidate hoping to
7:24 am
revive his struggling campaign. those remarks ahead on msnbc live. surprise!!!!! we heard you got a job as a developer! its official, i work for ge!! what? wow... yeah! okay... guys, i'll be writing a new language for machines so planes, trains, even hospitals can work better. oh! sorry, i was trying to put it away... got it on the cake. so you're going to work on a train? not on a train...on "trains"! you're not gonna develop stuff anymore?
7:25 am
no i am... do you know what ge is? when i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. it was serious. fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. treatment with xarelto®. hey guys! hey, finally, somebody i can look up to... ...besides arnie. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there's limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions... don't get me started on that. i didn't have to. we started on xarelto®. nice pass. safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding,
7:26 am
unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto®... ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. hey! how are you?g? where are we watching the game? you'll see. i think my boys have a shot this year. yeah, especially with this new offense we're running... i mean, our running back is a beast. once he hits the hole and breaks through the secondary, oh he's gone. and our linebackers and dbs dish out punishment, and never quit. ♪ you didn't expect this did you? no i didn't. the nissan altima. there's a fun side to every drive.
7:27 am
nissan. innovation that excites. the wreckage of the sunken cargo ship that disappeared a month ago with 33 people on board has been found. "el faro" vanished on october 1st after encounter be hurricane joaquin. images captured by the navy's side-scanning sonar show the 790-foot cargo ship on the bottom of the ocean floor in one piece sitting upright. kerry sanders joins me. good morning. this is very deep water. >> yes. it's 15,000 feet. three miles. it's deeper than the titanic but the goal here is to try to send an remotely operated vehicle down to where "el faro" sits, not to recover the vessel and not to bring up the cargo. the primary mission here is to get a black box, a recording device, that can actually explain what caused this vessel
7:28 am
to get in to the trouble that it got into. we know that it was trying to outrun the hurricane which whipped up real quickly. it started out as a tropical storm and within 24 hours was a category 5. a major hurricane. they lost propulsion. some of the answers may be on that black box. also, if the navy can, they will try to recover some bodies because of course there are many family members in jacksonville wondering will i ever get closure. >> that depth, apparently it is upright, i imagine they have to go into this ship to get this recorder information. >> yes. that's not easy. they have to find a way in. remember, an rov very often has a long cable going down and that can get entwined and tangled. so it is very complicated and nobody's making any promises that they'll be able to get that box. >> kerry sanders, thanks very much. a quick check on the market. right now the dow is up and it
7:29 am
is up about 100 points on this first trading day of november. 109 points. the s&p 500, nasdaq also up 13 and 38 points. msnbc business correspondent live stearns. >> good way to start off november after the s&p had its best rally in the month of october in nearly four years. the s&p gained 8.9% from the month of october, nearly 10% as you see here. that's good news because it means the s&p 500 with so many of our retirement funds and mutual funds is actually back in the black for the year. biggest gainers in october, a lot of the biggest stocks in the index, particularly we saw big gains in tech stocks, thinking of apple, amazon. the newly named parent company of google. all eyes for investors this week on that jobs report coming out on friday. investors want to see whether or not the unemployment rate will
7:30 am
hold at 5.1%. of course the stronger that number comes in, the more likely they think it will be that the fed will actually move to raise rates at its meeting in december. >> olivia, talk to me about chipotle. shares have been falling on this west coast outbreak of e. coli? >> shares are off their session lows, they were down at the open nearly 7%. they're now down about 3% after an outbreak of e. coli was linked to the restaurant chain. as of friday there were three people in oregon, 19 people in western washington who have become sick from e. coli. 17 of those people had eaten at a chipotle in the past few weeks. eight people have been hospitalized. no deaths have been reported. health officials do expect the number of cases of reported e. coli to grow as people hear about it and go to the doctor. meantime, chipotle has voluntarily closed down 43 of its restaurants in oregon and

washington and will re-open pend ing news on the investigation. gop candidate jeb bush speaking live at an event in tampa. we'll have that for you on msnbc live. you, my friend, recognize when a trend has reached critical mass. that's what a type e* does. with e*trade's investing insights center, you can spot trends before they become trendy. when age-related macular have degeneration, amd we came up with a plan to help reduce my risk of progression. and everywhere i look... i'm reminded to stick to my plan. including preservision areds 2. my doctor said preservision areds 2 has the exact nutrient formula that the national eye institute recommends to help reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced amd... after 15 years of clinical studies. preservision areds 2. because my eyes are everything. at ally bank no branches equals great rates.
7:32 am
it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping. my psoriatic arthritis i'm caused joint pain.o golfer. just like my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. and i was worried about joint damage. my doctor said joint pain from ra can be a sign of existing joint damage that could only get worse. he prescribed enbrel to help relieve pain and help stop further damage. enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common, or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu.
7:33 am
joint pain and damage... can go side by side. ask how enbrel can help relieve joint pain and help stop joint damage. enbrel, the number one rheumatologist-prescribed biologic. can a a subconscious. mind? a knack for predicting the future. reflexes faster than the speed of thought. can a business have a spirit?
7:34 am
can a business have a soul? can a business be...alive? welcome back. live pictures here out of tampa, florida. any minute jeb bush is going to be taking to the stage. this is the launch of his "jeb can fix it" tour. while we wait, i want to bring in my panel, msnbc's steve kornacki, along with ruth marcus. steve, let me ask you, it seems every time bush has had a problem in the campaign, he goes back to florida. this is an important state for him where he is not even leading in the polls. >> he's running fourth place in florida, a state where he was governor for two terms. behind not just marco rubio who shares florida with him. obviously is currently a senator
7:35 am
from there. also trails donald trump and ben carson. the idea here today is to kick off a tour, it starts in florida. he'll go to other key early states to talk about and to stress his record as governor of florida. the jeb can fix it theme is about the idea of saying jeb bush went in to become governor of florida, he fixed things by applying conservative principles. he is the results guy. he can do the same thing nationally, of course the big question is when you talk about your florida record and you're jeb bush, are you talking about things that happening during the years 1998 when he was first elected and 2006. that's when he left office. we're basically nearly two decades now from when he first won election as governor of florida. nearly a full decade since he left office. the challenge is can you get voters in 2015, 2016 to really care about, to really feel a message that involves things that happened 10, 15 years ago? >> bush often compares his
7:36 am
campaign to mccain during his 2008 run but there are some differences. do you see similarities and differences? >> i'm having a little trouble with the similarities there, but i mean jeb has just been very clumsy in this campaign. at the heart of this sort of relaunch or re, re, re, re-launch, he's issuing a book of this exhaustive anthology of his e-mails, as florida governor. now that's the jet fuel that's really going to make his campaign take off, just flood the voters with thousands of e-mails. so i don't think -- i think it's sort of a bit of flailing going on right here, right now. mccain was always -- he had his message. he was waiting for his moment and it just seems that jeb bush had his moment at the start of the campaign, has lost it and is now trying everything to get it back and it doesn't seem like anything's sticking. >> ruth, bush told chuck todd on "meet the press" that he doesn't understand why some of his supporters say something is
7:37 am
missing. how telling is that answer? >> well, i think he kind of sometimes does say that he understands it. but i think the similarities, to go back to an earlier question that you asked to my friend, dana, the similarity between bush and mccain and the sort of doldrums of the mccain campaign or the doldrums of the kerry campaign are the kind of lonely, sad, slightly pathetic nature of the flailing, as dana says, candidate. the question -- and so history would suggest that there is a possibility that bush, no matter how badly he looks like he's doing now, can do that sort of turnaround that mccain engineered and that kerry engineered. the question is whether this weird, weird election cycle that we're seeing, especially on the republican side, is so different that history is not a guide here. and also kind of whether bush has the message that could match, as dana said, the moment. >> steve, let's talk about this
7:38 am
weird election cycle, to use ruth's term. it has made people -- you normally would think would be flash in the pan be pretty consistent on top. not only one, but now two candidates. >> absolutely. we all thought the comparison was made so many times this summer that donald trump would just shall the next herman cain. herman cain lasted for about two weeks in 2011 before he crashed back into on security. this idea of a comeback strategy for jeb, it is interesting because he takes a lot of heat for the poor performance in debates. there are times he can seem listless in public. he can seem -- you wonder where is the energy, where is the passion. that low-energy label from trump really has stuck. i will say, there have been some moments in this campaign, and there are plenty of moments more to the point in his political past, plenty of settings where he really does come to life. i'm thinking particularly of his

announcement speech back this spring. he had a packed hall down there in florida and it was a jeb bush that if you watched these three debates that have happened so far and you compare that jeb bush to the jeb bush who spoke in that hall on his announcement day earlier this year, two completely different guys. the challenge for the bush campaign to find settings like that to showcase his talents. he does not do well it seems in a sort of off-the-cuff debate stage encounters where you are taking questions and trying to reformulate them, repurpose them, whatever. but when he's got a script, he's got a crowd. he knows the points he wants to make. this is true when you look back at his florida days, too. he could deliver some pretty good speeches. so there is some opportunity there, i got to say. but they've got to find ways to showcase this. >> steve kornacki, ruth marcus and dana milbank, we'll be right back. keeping a very close watch on tampa. stay with us.

in tampa. >> thanks for being here. thank you for that great introduction. speaker designate, thank you. i'm not sure i'm captain america, but i'm striving -- i'm striving to be president of the united states. i appreciate you all come coulding out. it is great to be here in tampa with so many friends. today we begin a four-day trip across florida, south carolina, and new hampshire to tell the florida story, the story of a big, diverse state, shaped by conservative results oriented leadership, reforming government. disrupting the status quo, challenging the special interests, restoring opportunity, refusing to compromise in the defense of freedom. lifting people up, not tearing them down. standing for everyone. our story is about action.
7:44 am
doing, not just talking. listening. listening, not just lecturing. that is my story, and i'm so grateful and honored to have led this great state as your governor. i cannot tell you how much it warms my heart. last year i decided that i wanted to share my story with people across the country, so i wrote a book. well, really, i didn't write it. not in the traditional sense. i e-mailed it. they used to call me the "e-governor." for eight years i gave out my e-mail address. jeb @jeb.org and i gave it to anybody that wanted to talk to me. and e-mail they did. people across the state told me their stories. sometimes they asked questions. sometimes they asked for help.
7:45 am
i'll never forget one lady, an elderly woman in south florida, sent me an e-mail saying governor, i've got a raccoon in my attic. what are you going to do about it? so i called up the poor city manager from del ray beach or one of these towns and i said, you have an elderly person who's got a raccoon in her attic. what are you going to do about it? and by noon, that raccoon was out because we did have a servant's heart in tallahassee. we've got our team right on it each and every day when people had problems and they always -- floridians always gave me their opinions. man, they did not hold back. so i listened and i did try to answer every e-mail. it wasn't something i could have predicted during the start of my time in office but this eight-year conversation with florida shaped my governorship so in writing my book i used my e-mail exchange to tell the florida story, to tell about the work to turn one of america's
7:46 am
largest states into an economic engine where people could live, work and raise their family in safety and security. with the huge promise for the future and free from the heavy hand of government. that's what my book is about. and here's my shameless plug. the book is called reply all. it's out today. can you get it on amazon.com. it is pretty cheap. i hope you enjoy it. going back and rereading these e-mails reminded me of the chal lepgs we tackled together and how much can be accomplished with strong, conservative leadership. that is why i'm running for the presidency of the united states of america.
7:47 am
>> jeb! jeb! jeb! jeb! >> you see, you see, america's in a time of testing, at home and abroad. people are frustrated. people are worried about what the future holds for our nation. and i share that sentiment with them. our economy has suffered its slowest recovery since the great depression. 1 in 10 able-bodied americans can't find full-time work or have given up all together. 1 in 7 americans lives in poverty. 1 in 5 children is on food stamps. barack obama has given us $2 trillion of new taxes, but still managed to grow the national debt by $8 trillion. placing the moral burden on working families and the next generation. the world is in turmoil. as america withdraws from its responsibilities. isis has a caliphate the size of indiana. in syria and iraq, they are
7:48 am
indiscriminately killing moderate muslims, christians, western journalists, anyone who stands in the way of their fanatic ideology. red lines get crossed without consequence, unleashing a humanitarian crisis as 4 million syrian refugees flee their native land. vladimir putin is siding with the brutal syrian dictator. sending weapons to iran and continuing to defy the western world in ukraine. all the while, our president has negotiated an agreement that gives legitimacy to tehran and does nothing to curb iran's nuclear ambitions. for the first time in the history of israel, its greatest existential threat has been created by its greatest ally. the 2016 election arrives at the juncture of all our failures abroad and restlessness at home. and soon americans will once again enter a time for choosing.
7:49 am
a chance to set a new course for their country. as you may have heard, last week i was in colorado for the third republican debate. if you watched the debate, you probably came away thinking that the election is about sound bites or fantasy football. or which candidate can interrupt the loudest. i'm here to tell you, it is not. this election is not about a set of personalities. it's about a set of principles. it's about leadership. it's about the right vision to lead america through turbulent waters. after two terms of a divider in chief who has sliced and diced the electorate was class,
7:50 am
income, credence and creed. choice we face is whether to summon the courage to give rise to a new era of possibility or indulge this new age of cynic m cynicism. for all its promise, perhaps president obama's greatest accomplishment is that of creating competing pessimisms. members of his own party are left explaining how 2% growth, massive debt and increasing global isolation are really the best that we can do. they speak in delusional terms about containing isis, about trusting the world's large aes state sponsor of terrorism. about how the presence of russian soldiers on syrian soil doesn't underscore the president's empty words and total inaction. it's not working. all president obama has left is the politics of divide and conquer. signing lawless executive orders that ignore the constitution and launching partisan attacks such as comparing his critics to
7:51 am
iranian hardliners. wow. amazing. americans have had enough of our many president straw man arguments and a candidate who blames a vast right wing conspiracy instead of taking personal responsibility. and who declares roughly half the country is her enemy. if senator clinton has her way, the next four years will be demonization. this is the only way they know how to win. on issue of immigration they've written a script for republicans filled with grievance and resentment. frankly, the last thing they want is a republican challenger who takes them out of their comfort zone of forced indignation and pc platitudes.
7:52 am
but let me be clear. let me be clear. i'm not stepping into the role of angry agitator that they created for us because it's not what's in my heart. and it is not true to the conservative cause. and in the end, that role is just a bit part in another story of another conservative loss and another liberal victory. that's their plan and i'm not going to go along with it. but i truly fear the president has already succeeded in setting the trap for our party, bringing in new pessimism on the right. some people on the debate stage talked of a country that was once great but now is in dramatic decline. they say our best days are behind us. look, look, let's be clear, let's be clear, i acknowledge the difficulties and challenges
7:53 am
we face. but i reject that kind of thinking. not because -- not because i don't understand it. but because it is not true. there's an important place in politics for righteous indignation. but anger that leads to resentment without delivering results will take us down a path to perdition. in my heart i believe america's best days are not mind us but squarely in front of us. if we elect the right leadership. as your president, i will fight every day with a reformer's heart. i will lead and i will tear down the barriers that keep americans from rising up and realizing their god-given potential. i will do so keenly aware of the
7:54 am
problems that give rise to the deep frustration all of us share. frustration over a porous border. workers wages remaining stagnant. ever-shrinking pie for families living paycheck to paycheck. this won't be solved with more talk. the answer isn't sending someone from one side of the capital city to the other. the solution won't be found in someone who has never demonstrated the capacity to implement conservative ideas. and you can't just tell congress "you're fired" and go to commercial break. you have to bring people together to solve problems. the challenges we face as a nation are too great to roll the dice on another presidential experiment. to trust the rhetoric of reform over a record of reform.

set their own debate rules. a look at their new demands. and new clues into what caused a passenger plane to break apart over egypt. we'll go live to cairo. nice to be with you, everyone. this is frances rivera in for tamron hall. in florida, jeb bush held a major speech in florida to kick off what he hopes will be a reset to his struggling campaign. the speech is the beginning of his new jeb can fix it tour, dean siding with the release of his new ebook, "reply all," highlighting his time as governor. the speech comes after what could be described as a poor debate performance. payroll cuts that include the campaign's chief operating officer whose departure was announced on friday. msnbc reporter kasie hunt joins me now. we hear jeb bush say i have enough self-awareness to know this is a bumpy ride. the question is does very enough

self-awareness to know with this new slogan here, the jeb can fix it, can he fix him, his campaign? >> reporter: frances, good morning. he certainly is trying to here. this kickoff speech with the release of this new ebook is aimed at starting something over reboot. he's going to send the next week on the road first in south carolina, and then in new hampshire for three days as they try to refocus their strategy. watching him today, and i also saw him on the weekend in iowa, first he does seem to be aware that this is -- he's having a difficult time. but he also seems to be responding by stepping up his game a little bit. he showed a lot of fire in his iowa speech and i think we are seeing that continue today. he's being a little bit stronger than he has been in the past in delivering those attack lines against others and in presenting himself in a forceful way. he of course is at his heart a policy wonk. sometimes it is hard to translate that on the trail in an emotional way. sometimes he gets bogged down i
